Telephone Pioneers General Assembly, 1954?
Telephone History, Vintage Photographs July 9th. 2008, 8:16am
I came across this photograph, and several others, that seem to show various gatherings held under the banner of the Telephone Pioneers of America. No documentation came with the photo that provides the location or subject, but I believe it to show the General Assembly of 1954 that was held in Minneapolis, Minnesota. (The podium appears to be marked, Radisson) The photo is presented here in a larger version, and also in a much larger version, which could be useful if you hope to spot someone in particular. Lots of interesting details can be seen, including a “Mr. Telephone” with a Telephone Pioneers of America logo. It will be interesting to see if anyone can confirm any of the particulars of this gathering, or perhaps can identify some of the conventioneers.
